Yeah, I guess I should add it to 6.5, although the location will be temporary since we're planning better integration for 6.5. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24956 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Andy, When will the "switch to SN" from the web ui go live in 6.5?

SN now has the ability to disconnect a player via the website. The link is located at the top of the Squeezeboxes -> Preferences page. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24956 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

I am sure developers on the SqueezeNetwork side are working on a way to get us back to slimserver from squeezenetwork. On the other hand, it is exactly those people have there Squeezeboxes in inaccessible locations who will find the new feature by itself pretty useless. What good is it to be able to switch to SqueezeNetwork, if it causes you to loose access to your library. Having my Squeezebox connected to a whole house system in the basement, I really cannot use this feature though I would like to. I think this is what JJZolx is getting at. Again, though I am sure that the other half of the equation will come eventually. I do recall Sean or someone saying that the goal is to eventually have the differences between Squeezenetwork and slimserver made completely transparent to the user. -- stevek1006 -Steve -- Steven Kramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- stevek1006's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1369 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24956 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

How is this ability by itself the least bit useful to those people? I'm not knocking the feature, but I fail to understand how anyone could get excited by it. You connect a box to SqueezeNetwork through the web ui from a PC or your PDA. Then you pick up the remote and use the remote interface to connect to a feed. You could have more easily connected to SqueezeNetwork with the remote itself. -- JJZolx Jim JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24956 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

JJZolx Wrote: Can you switch back - disconnect the SB from SqueezeNetwork and connect to the local server - from the web interface? No. SS -> SN, not the other way around. Pity. I'm sure people are working on it, but I've never been quite sure why the Squeezenetwork was not better integrated into the main menus. I don't understand why you need to sign on to use those services as a separate step. I mean could not selecting Pandora imply the need to sign on without having to explicitly go through that step? And couldn't selecting "Library" on the SB automatically switch back to slimserver without explicitly signing off? To me, those steps seem clearly implied and therefore should not need to be performed explicitly in separate steps. As I said, I'm sure people are working on it. Kevin -- Kevin O.

What would be really cool is if the Squeezenetwork web interface had the full suite of controls, including the ability to disconnect from Squeezenetwork and go back to Slimserver. I have patio speakers for outdoor listening. When I use them the IR remote isn't an option since the SB is far away, so I use a laptop to control the music. But this means Squeezenetwork and Pandora are not an option, which is disappointing. I imagine anyone using anything besides the IR remote for SB control would feel the same way. -- rudholm rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24956 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
